I can't fall asleep. Ron and Hermione are in a spat, it's so ridiculous. They are always fighting. I don't even know what it's about now.and I don't really care to either. I'm proud to say that I'm passing Defense Against the Dark Arts, but I'm failing in Potions, damnit. I talked to McGonagall, she reckons I'll need a tutor. I'd ask Hermione to, but she's got work of her own to do. I don't know what Ron's been up to. I've been hanging out a lot with Ginny. Every night we usually meet in the Common Room, to play cards, or some other embarrassingly immature game. She finds it fun, but I only do it to keep my mind off work. She has no idea how stupid I find it. Ta- Harry

I haven't written in a few days. No real reason to. By the way, I got this new journal in Flourish & Blotts. I like the red leather thing, it's so me, don't you think? Oh! More news with that girl! I found out her name is Jaimie and she's a 5th year. I still have no idea why she's been following me, except for the obvious reason. I got a closer look at her during dinner the other day, and I realized that she's quite good looking when her eyes aren't rolled in the back of her head. She has curly blonde hair, and she's about my height, except I'm a little taller. And McGonagall also signed me up for that tutor for Potions, and I'm thinking it's a good idea, since I'm barely passing, that last recovery potion hit me hard. Ron and Hermione have made up. I didn't expect their little fight to last long, none of them ever do. I have an idea about the reason, Ron mentioned something to me about Hermione having some girl problems that he was told about. Hermione? A girl? Never! Ta- Harry
13 September
I'm getting back on schedule with my writings. Hermione is no longer being horrendous, I think her little girly fiasco has passed once again. It's about time! I start tutoring tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to it. I really can't afford to fail anything, if I want to work at the Ministry of Magic. They only accept perfect students.Ron has a girlfriend! She's a 4th year Ravenclaw and I find her disgusting. I don't know what he sees in her! But oh well, that's not my business. Ta- Harry

Well, so much for getting back on schedule. I'm doing well in tutoring, Jaimie's been my teacher so far and I like her way of explaining things. She's going to find out if she can be my permanent teacher! No more Snape! Anyway, I'm really starting to like her. She also shows an interest in me. That's important. Snape just likes to yell, and I don't care what Dumbledore says, he does show favoritism. But so far I'm her only student. We've been meeting in empty classrooms every time we can, meaning that I have tutoring again in a few days. Even though she's a few months older than me, I think I'm attracted to her. Ta- Harry
21 September
I just got back from tutoring. She likes to help me herself, we have a lot of one-on-one action. And if I get something wrong, she doesn't go nutters. She just doubles up on the potion. I'm working on one called the Dradicious Potion, it instantly heals people who are sick. Snape assigned it for me, I think he's giving me the stupidest potions on purpose. Who needs a healing potion when we've got a nurse? Anyway, in his actual class, he's been ignoring any students from other classes who've been trying to ask him questions. Any who, ta for now! Harry
